Computing the Bergsma Dassios sign-covariance

Yair Heller, Ruth Heller

Bergsma and Dassios (2014) introduced an independence measure which is zero if and only if two random variables are independent. This measure can be naively calculated in .…

Multivariate tests of association based on univariate tests

Ruth Heller, Yair Heller

For testing two random vectors for independence, we consider testing whether the distance of one vector from a center point is independent from the distance of the other vector fro…

Consistent distribution-free -sample and independence tests for univariate random variables

Ruth Heller, Yair Heller, Shachar Kaufman +2

A popular approach for testing if two univariate random variables are statistically independent consists of partitioning the sample space into bins, and evaluating a test statistic…

Consistent distribution-free tests of association between univariate random variables

Ruth Heller, Yair Heller, Shachar Kaufman +1

We consider the problem of testing whether pairs of univariate random variables are associated. Few tests of independence exist that are consistent against all dependent alternativ…

A consistent multivariate test of association based on ranks of distances

Ruth Heller, Yair Heller, Malka Gorfine

We are concerned with the detection of associations between random vectors of any dimension. Few tests of independence exist that are consistent against all dependent alternatives.…
